why would you put them in ice water for five minutes? am i the only person that likes their hard boiled eggs somewhat warm when they eat them?

@dragonjonny

Obviously this tip is for people who want a better hard boiled egg.

For a smelly adolescent living in his mom's basement cooking it the poor way is fine.

i just put my eggs in a pan and fill it up with water just enough to cover the eggs fully, then i put it on a medium flame, when it come to a boil i count for 4-5 minutes and then i take it ot and cool it some tap water for like, 5 minutes or something, maybe more :/ perfectly boiled eggs!

i let my eggs sit in Doritos consommé for a year, it gives them a nice southern kick.

[seemyheart57]

and add some of my Doritos's consomme on the side for that south western kick..

Why am I watching this? I'm allergic to eggs.

@amerreda44 Shocking in cold water makes it easier to peel the shell off.

@amerreda44 its stop the cooking process so when you take the egg out at the ten minute mark there are perfectly cooked.... they don't continue to cook
